Sabri,

1. Do not top-post, this is considered bad-behaviour,
2. keep the list copied on replies.

What version of Buildroot are you using?

For quite sometime now, the default password is the empty string.
However, if you forgot what password you've set, you can recover it by
looking at the .config file in the Buildroot tree:
    $ grep ROOT_PASSWD .config
    BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_ROOT_PASSWD=""

If it is not the empty string, then this is your password.

Yann E. MORIN.
